Protected landscape
Plan time to explore it properly.
Ireland’s marine national park brings together Atlantic islands, coastal habitats and internationally important natural and cultural landscapes off County Kerry.
The park is best approached as a protected landscape rather than a single attraction. Routes, facilities and access arrangements vary across the site, while weather can change quickly in exposed mountain, coastal and bog environments. Review current official information before choosing a walk or arrival point.
Highlights
- Skellig coast
